Avalon View entering service in 2020

Avalon Waterways will launch its 17th ship, the Avalon View, in Europe next year.

The ship will be its 14th in Europe. Its 13th, the Avalon Envision, will be christened in April by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat, Pray, Love."

Like the rest of its fleet, the Avalon Envision will feature two full decks of its signature 200-square-foot Panorama Suites with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that create open-air balconies and beds that face the view.
